The Supreme Court has nullified the judgement of the Court of Appeal in Abuja recognising Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
In a unanimous judgement on Friday, April 4, 2025, a five-member panel of the Supreme Court held that the Court of Appeal lacked the jurisdiction to have pronounced Abure as the LP National Chairman having earlier found that the substance of the case was about the party’s leadership.
The apex court declared that the issue of leadership is an internal affair of a party over which courts lacked jurisdiction.
The court added that Abure’s tenure had since expired.
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Senator Ester Nenadi Usman and one other and held that it was meritorious.
It proceeded to dismiss the cross-appeal filed by the Abure faction of the LP for being unmeritorious.
